Outfit Four:

Outfit Five:

Missoni Jumper: £68

Max Mara Skirt: £18

Inspired by Milan Fashion week which kicks off this Wednesday we thought we would pull together some vintage pieces featured on the www.wearecow.com from the renowned Italian fashion houses, before the AW12 collections take to the catwalks.

Italian fashion is all about an attitude and tends to respond to long term trends rather than seasonal changes, whacking a made in Italy label on your clothes automatically denotes class and quality. This can be seen in these designer pieces from different eras that are still relevant today.

My personal fave is definatley the Versace Denim Jacket, absolute steal at £58 quid.

Versace's original interpretation of fashion and somewhat exhibitionist and brightly coloured designs can be seen here.

So while we eagerly anticipate what new looks will hit the catwalks in the fashion capital. Why not head to wearecow.com and invest in a timeless vintage piece that will transcend from season to season.

Here at Cow we've been going crazy for accessories this month and especially my personal weakness- bags. As far as I'm concerned you can never have too many, which is just as well with the huge weekly deliveries we're getting at the moment so why not give yourself a pay day treat?

Saddle bag 24.00

Satchel 48.00

Following the mini bag trend of the moment we've got some amazing small bags in store to give your shoulders a break. So if you fancy copying the likes of Alexa Chung and Kate Moss snap up some of these vintage mini's.
